The DJI FPV Drone features AirSense, which picks up ADS-B signals from nearby manned aircraft. That will depend, of course, on how fast you’re flying. Weight is just shy of 800 grams, and you’ll be able to get up to 20 minutes on a battery. We’ve seen 60mph max speed in that post today, and also 90mph elsewhere. This will make freestyle flight far more intuitive for a beginner to grasp, and is really just a super cool idea. Yaw will require you to rotate the controller. Think of it as a Wii controller with a throttle: Point where you want to go, squeeze for speed, tilt forward or back for pitch and side to side for roll. We first broke this story back in early January: You’ll be able to purchase a separate, one-handed motion controller. Why is this model so calm? Because the drone has an “panic button” This will undoubtedly save countless drones – and a lot of swearing. The drone’s controller has a “panic button” that will allow you to recover from something hairy and put it into a stable hover. The drone will have the Return to Home feature, low battery RTH and forward and downward obstacle detection. But…you can override this with a screwdriver and about 30 seconds of your time. The throttle is spring-centered, which will turn off some FPV pilots. In fact, you have to jump through some hoops in the goggles to get to manual mode. Scratch that, you will crash unless you’re freakishly good at learning on the fly. But beware, you need to know how to fly fully manually before taking this on, or you will likely crash. Sport mode moves thins up a notch, increasing speed to 60 mph and doubling the ascent and descent rates.Īnd yes, of course, there’s a “manual” mode, which puts you in full control. A perfect way for beginners to start the FPV experience with minimal risk of crashing. This also limits its flight speed to 33 mph and maximum attitude angle to about 25°. Image stabilization is handled by RockSteady.įor those not yet into flying freestyle, “Acro” mode FPV, you’ve got the option of flying this machine in “Normal” mode, where it behaves politely like other DJI products. These goggles transmit over both 2.4GHz and 5.8Ghz, and it’s reported that the onboard recorder is higher quality than V1 of the goggles. 1080p video can be recorded by the drone at up to 120 FPS. The goggles receive up to 810P at 60FPS in high-quality mode, or 120FPS in low-latency mode. That’s going to crash into its reflection in a nanosecond… The camera has a 142° field of view and captures 4K 60 FPS at 120 Mbps. The goggles come with a battery and USB-C power cable. Drone ships with one battery, two sets of propellers, a gimbal protector and a spare top shell or canopy. The DJI FPV Drone, DJI FPV Remote Controller 2, and DJI FPV Goggles V2. Here’s the deets from that post – along with a sprinkling of new images: Obviously, this group is not affiliated with DJI, which doesn’t even officially confirm the existence of new products prior to their release. Here’s what appears in the leak, which appears to have come from GetFPV and was then re-posted in the DJI FPV Drone Facebook group. Stuff happens quickly in FPV, and having the ability to switch the drone into a mode that might prevent a crash would be awesome – and makes a lot of sense. This would be great news for a newer pilot whose flight might be going south. We’ve been told it will also have a button or switch dedicated to putting the drone into a stable hover. You can see it has a trigger for throttle, as well as buttons that will allow you to switch between modes. And here’s what it looks like: DJI’s Motion Controller It will be an option sold separately from the drone combo. Think of it as a Wii controller for flying. This will allow a pilot with limited stick experience (and those good with sticks but looking for something different) to fly the drone in a new, intuitive way. The first photo that we’re aware of that shows the revolutionary motion controller. Perhaps the most significant detail out now? A photo of the “Motion Controller” – a story we first broke. A new leak that’s splashed in Facebook has images, specifications, and confirms pretty much everything we’ve reported about this product in the past. We now know pretty much everything there is to know about the new DJI FPV drone, except for how it flies.
